Small Game Facts and Information

RABBIT

Ontario There is one species of rabbit and two of hares available to hunters in Ontario – eastern cottons as well as snowshoes and European hares. Cottons and European hares are restricted to the southern portion of the province between the Great Lakes of Huron, Ontario, and Erie on into Quebec where farmland and brushy cover provide suitable habitat. Snowshoe hares are distributed throughout most of the province where swamps and stands of evergreen trees provide adequate cover.

European hares were introduced to Ontario during 1912 when nine of the animals from Germany gained their freedom near Brantford. They flourished in their new home and now are an important small game species in parts of the province. Information on best locations to hunt these hares can be obtained from Ministry of Natural Resources offices at Owen Sound, Simcoe, Aylmer, Wingham, Cambridge, and Huronia.

Besides the species mentioned above, another hare – the white-tailed jack – occasionally shows up in the Rainy River region near the Manitoba border. Season dates in Ontario vary considerably, depending on management unit. The most liberal season dates have been September 1 – June 15, which is in effect for most of the province in past years. However, season dates are normally between October 31 – February 28 in units 93 and 94. Daily bag limits were six for each species of rabbit, although there are generally no bag limit for snowshoe hares in some units.

There were 215,000 cottons harvested by 44,000 hunters during 1980; 271,000 snowshoe hares were bagged by 43,600 hunters; and 18,400 hunters collected 45,500 European hares.
